Radical Changes

SHOUT SCREAM BREAK STUFF - and you might feel better.
sulk withdraw cry - and maybe it'll pass
Decide Commit Follow Through - and things will actually happen
Of all the reactions we have to life, even we're unpredictable to ourselves. We want this, that, everything, nothing, hell who knows. Still, we want things to change. Good things must be great, bad things must be better, strawberry should have been vanilla. Will we never cease to argue with ourselves when we get what we want but find that we don't want it anymore? That's change for you, always appearing when it's most inconvenient.
So the only constant is change, and change becomes routine and routine becomes normal and change never surprises us anymore. What a life! And then things change again. The 'never-a-dull-moment' becomes what we expect, and then when things don't change we get surprised. Haha, how ironic that the lack of change which causes our expectations to be let down, is simply a change in itself.
It continues to entertain me how we still set ourselves up, still make vague attempts at believing otherwise yet still somehow end up at the same place...in our skin, doing the same thing. That familiar place we call home, that lives within us and ultimately defines us as who we are, is like a fountain of life that reminds us of our humanity. Some call it their soul, some their heart, and to others it's their unchangeable self.
For all your choices and closed doors, what do you really have to show the world that you're different, responsible, wiser - how do you show the changes you've made inside? And more importantly, what will you do when people notice?
